Congrats Shir! Keep on blogging about pool-life in Holland, we enjoy the read.

Thanks!
Good to see that there are some people that actually read this... ;)

Pool-life in Holland? Hahaha, thank God that i don't get to all the events that there are here in Holland.... There are way too many things happening here....

I'll give you a preview of my weekends that are coming up....

June 10: 2nd Thurston Night Event (Tournament Director and Leader)
June 17: World Pool Masters (Supporter and baby-sitter)
June 24-25: National Championships Teams
July 1: Sensation White (Work)
July 2: Cupfinal (Tournament Leader, but i hope that i can find somebody to replace me....)
July 7-9: National Ranking Masters (Tournament Director and Leader)
July 16: Thurston Pooltournament Teams (Tournament Director and Leader)

That's about it till now..... Off course there are still the weekly tournaments every monday that i run in Thurston....
Busy busy busy....

Time for something new... Hoping that there will be some new tournaments coming up for me internationally.... Really hoping for a second time in Croatia..... That will be fun for sure!

PTL!!!!

Woehoe!!!

We did it!!!
Remember me telling about the Promotion League? And that we had to play for real promotion to the Pro Team League?
We did it!!!
It was best of 13... So who reached 7 won matches would stay or go to the PTL...
And we won 7-2!!!!

But sorry... I'm too tired to write a long story about it...
You can find the result on www.proteamleague.nl

Had to work @ Toppers in concert in the Amsterdan Arena yesterday.... Got back in Rotterdam half past 2.... Got home at half past 6.... I'm so damn tired!!! At the moment i'm at the club, shoot some balls.... And tonight when i see my bed.... It going to be great!!! Just me, my pillow and that's it!!! I'm gonna enjoy that!!!

See you soon....

Kiss

(Thanks Hooch, Nick, Faab and Jor for making my weekend!!!)

Papaya?

I took a test a friend sent me....

This is the result.....

Hmm, you taste of Papaya!

Mmm ... papaya! Smooth and refreshing, you're the flavour of lazy, sun-kissed days spent on tropical beaches. You blend well with others -- that's why you're such a great ingredient in fruit cocktails (and why you dance the twist so well). People love having you around because you're always ready for fun, and your easygoing nature makes you a pleasure to spend time with. You're laid-back, original, and more than a little exotic – you wouldn't dream of being found in just any old fruit bowl. With just enough sweetness to balance out your striking flavour, you're a truly tasty treat.

Isn't it funny.... Kind of true i think.... Or is there somebody that disagrees? ;)

The UK

This is a comment i got from Hud Millen....

Hi Shir,

Have you any plans of going to the UK to any of the upcoming events? I just saw your post on one of the UK forums and it looks like you get some attention from the fellas there!!?? Wahey.

I live in Belfast myself but i am hoping to start travelling to more events soon. Manchester on 17th, 18th June will be my first.

Wouldnt mind challenging you to a game at a tournament to see how good you are!! lol


Hi Hud....

Here something to answer your questions....
I'm planning on going to the UK somewhere soon... I have to wait for a while because there are a few things here in Holland that i have to do first.... But i really hope to come over soon! Was planning on coming over for the EPT, but Daryl doesn't want me there.... No just kidding.... The World Pool Masters are on at the same time... And i wan't to see some people in action that i haven't seen in real life yet....

Attention from the fella's on Pro 9? Hahahaha it just seems like that.... Wish that they would be for real.... ;)

You want to challenge me? Hahahha don't even bother.. I can't play.... Didn't you read that i made my first break in one a few weeks ago.... Still haven't suceeded in doing that again!!!

OK....

Somebody texted me today that i have to keep this up to date...
But with what?
I don't know....
Really didn't do anything worth mentioning these few days....

So... Just ask me something and i'll try to tell you all about it.....

Weekend....

Hi ya...

It's friday... I'm at the club right now... Shoot some balls.... Having fun... Tried to stay out of the club this whole week... Kind of had enough of it... It worked!
Playing much better right now, altough it's too hot to play!

Tomorrow and sunday are my days off!! Woehoe! How am i going to spend these days? I don't know yet... Depends on the weather.... Might do a movie marathon.... Hang out in the cinema....
Or else visit some friends i haven't seen for ages!

I'll let you know on sunday or monday... If I don't forget.....
;)

Happy birthday to me!!!

24!!!!

I can't believe it!
Going towards the age of 30.... :S
Not good.... Wish i could be 8 again.... No worries, to going to school, play afterwards, eat and have fun!

Nowadays it's a whole different thing!

Yesterday i went to the Baja Beach Club to party a bit... Thanks to everybody for partying along with me... I had a bit too much to drink, had a lot fun! Noting much to tell about it, except that i behaved myself again! I'm a good girl, altough nobody will believe this!

At the moment i'm at Thurston, the weekly tournament is going on...
I'm in the final of the losersround.... Not bad for somebody that has got a hangover fron the night before....

Hope i'll win, that will finish my birthday for real....

Eurotour Germany

Hi ya....

Here i am....
Yesterday i got back from Germany!
Thanks to Brian for sharing the room and the drive to Sindelfingen...
Thanks to Wim for the drive back...
And keeping me company when Brian went back earlier!

Seen some old friends again ... (Courtney. i'll get you back for pulling my leg!)
Met some new people, kind of... Already knew them but got to know them a bit better....
Had a lot of fun! Have seen a lot of exciting matches... Daz... Next time make it a bit easier for me?
David with an incredible jump-shot against Tony...
Tony annoying but funny as always!

Too bad i couldn't stay till the end but had to have some rest for today...
Tonight i'm going to party finally!!! Celebrate my birthday with some friends... Going to the Baja... At the moment i'm in Thurston, started drinking....

See you tomorrow for a full report of this night!

It has been a while... I know....

Here i am again....

I know.... What have i been up to all that time, you'd think...
Nothing special actually....

The 22nd of April Thurston Rotterdam (team with Huidji See, Nicky Berendsen, Joris van der Poel and Raymon Fabrie) won the Promotion League Finals.... Nothing much i can say about it except that we deserved it! It was an exciting day, i was nervous! Sorry Wim for pinching you all the time... I want to thank the team for winning! One more match to go, and then we're in the Pro Team League! Please win! So i didn't put all my time and effort in for nothing!!!
Thanks to the supporters! (Hague Five, great that you stayed till the end, even when you didn't have to anymore...) (Wim for coming over from Belgium, and winning the race to 5 against Joris and his girlfriend!)

The 23rd i had to do a tournament leading of the A-ranking.... Nothing special to mention either... Same routine as always!

Monday till thursday didn't really do anything worth mentioning, monday was the weekly tournament, tuesday i can't remember, wednesday went to the movie (Lucky number Slevin, great one!), thursday ???

Friday i went to Antwerp with Brian Beekers, He had to play a qualification for the Budweiser Belgium Open, placed himself quite easily....
Saturday was the celebration of the Queens birthday, hanged around in the city center, had some drinks. But had to go home earlier because i wanted to go to Antwerp again the next day...

Sunday.... It was pouring, didn't really feel like going out, but i had to... I promised... And i can't break a promise right? I'm a good girl!
Met Brian in Breda, about 45 minutes to Antwerp, busy on the road and everybody was slow on the road because of the rain....
Brian lost in the quarters, to Stephen Lammens, a guy i've written a report during the EC's....
Didn't expect it, but i was back in Holland quite early, earlier than i wanted to.

Went to Thurston to play some racks but to be honest... I'm a bit sick of pool..... Had too much of it last year...

Time for a holiday....
